For months now, we’ve had these freakin’ ginormous black birds (Paul says they are turkey buzzards) hanging around the trees above our house and our neighborhood. Today they are down by the pond. I’m amazed everytime I see them since they are just so huge - they are actually kind of scary looking! Missed the opportunity for a photo but one day I saw one of the feral cats, a white one, sitting in the middle of a flock of them. I was a little worried he might be seen as “dinner” but Paul claims they are scavengers and will only go after dead animals. I hope he’s right!

Turkey Vulture sunning himself. 😎 They apparently do this as the sun comes out to raise their body temperature. However, I also noted he stood with wings tucked in until he spotted me taking photos and then he stretched his wings for quite some time. He was either posing for the paparazzi, or it was a show of dominance to say, ‘yeah, I’m not above coming down there and pecking your eyes out’.
